Description

My sweet Grandmother’s recipe for buttermilk waffles.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • 2  Eggs, Beaten
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar, If Desired
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Generously spray the cooking surface with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar (if desired) until blended.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine the wet and dry ingredients; mix well.

Pour some batter into a preheated prepared waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s directions or when steam stops.

Makes 4 cups of batter or 5 waffles. If you like them extra crispy, I recommend placing them in the toaster after they have cooled for a few minutes—this will get the outside of the waffle extra crispy! Serve with maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, or fresh fruit preserves.

Notes:
– You can add in additional ingredients into the batter before cooking, such as: 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, dash of cinnamon, or whatever you’d like!
– I always spray my waffle iron with cooking spray before cooking each batch, I recommend doing the same.
– These are perfect for freezing for a quick breakfast on those busy mornings. Simply place in toaster to reheat and crisp up!
